Nothing 'cheap' about bio diesel. One of the reasons we are still running dinosaurs on tap in our vehicles. Best estimates I have seen are about $2.50 a gallon before taxes for 'new' vegetable oils or rendered animal fats. Cleaned cooking oils arent much cheaper due to the cleaning and trucking costs. I do know some folks using tobacco canvas to strain used cooking oil and cutting it into their bulk tanks at about 5%. Seems to burn ok.

We (as a society) will never go to 'alternative' fuels for price. I am confident that crude oil wont stay at levels to make them economical for long, way too much economic disincentive for that. It will take a conscious effort on the part of all of us to say 'enough' with depending on OPEC and foreign oil.
